Harriet Tubman 'sex tape' sparks outrage, apology

Is an apology enough after Russell Simmons, co-creator of hip-hop label Def Jam, posted a Harriet Tubman 'sex tape' on his new YouTube channel?

Many people were outraged after watching the video — now taken down — which reportedly shows the African-American abolitionist seducing white plantation owners, with a slave videotaping it from a closet.

It infers that the evidence of these sexual romps was used to blackmail the slave owners, helping Tubman free so many slaves in the late 1800s.

Simmons was quick to respond to the criticism by taking it down, not before some people were able to take screenshots depicting Tubman and a plantation owner on a bed in various sexual positions, albeit fully clothed.
